Memorial Day
ISunday is Memorial Day, and for
many years atraditional day set aside
to honor our war dead. •
* * • *
iSiace the signing of the Declaration
of Independence 107 years ago, America has grown by leaps and hounds to
become the master nation in the world
of today. First in resources, first in
industry, first in its government by its
populace and first In its determination
to be free and to preserve that freedom for itself and its people.
» » » *
Since the days of the revolution, we
have been involved in a number of
wars, not for greed or territory or for
world dominance but to preserve for
us the traditions of freedom aud equality that have become a part of every
generation.
* * * *
Wars are not fought with idle words
but with human life-blood—and whether it be at Bunker Hill at Gettysburg,
in Chateau Thierry or Tunisia, men
have given theiar lives because in a
lottery system of drafting service men
it became their lot to go forth and
fight while we at home had a ringside
seat. We read our newspapers, listen
to the radio and discuss the pro and
con of our boys and watch the general
progress of the war from an armchair
by a nice cozy fire.
* * * *
Occasionally we buy a bond or give
a small contribution to the Red Cross
—and we feel in so doing, we have
earned the privilege of opinlonating on
what the officers should and should
not do, where and how to attack next,
. etc. In other words we don't do the
driving but we like to 6it in the driver's seat once in a while.
* * * *
When the first World War was over
and the soldiers came straggling back
home—'home where there wasn't even
a job waiting and an ordinary suit of
clothes had jumped to the price of $90
for even the tailor knew the buck-private had just about that much money
and was itching to get back into his
civies. These boys got a raw deal—
and they did not forget their less fortunate brothers who lay in hospitals
or were buried in Flanders and in the
family lot at home. Year after year,
with only a handful of civilian followers, they, gathered on Memorial Day
to pay tribute to these buddies—not
with a colorful celebration but with
simple solemn rites at a service beside the grave of a comrade.
» • • •
Sunday is Memorial Day. Already
we have thousands of boys in all corners of the world, in whose memory
these solemn services will be held. We
also have thousands of boys who will
be charging with fixed-bayonets and
other thousands carrying supplies
across the high-seas, missing in action
or prisoners of the most hated race in
the world.
* • • •
How much we respect these boys
and how much we revere their memories cannot be counted in terms of
Street-corner ballyhoolng but must be
measured in terms of honest sincere
patriotism, respect for the flag of our
great country and pride in American
traditions.
* * * *
If we do not keep faith with them
this Memorial Day it is because we
are an ungrateful, unfeeling lot of
people and we do not deserve to win
this war.
* * * »
|We wonder if these boys could sit in
the balcony Sunday morning and look
down upon the audience, what their
thoughts would be? Probably of our
being conspicuous by our absence.
* • • •
This is not a day of celebration and
It never was intended as such. It is a
day set aside to perform simple rites
I in honor of our dead soldiers.
* » * «
Let's all be there Sunday morning
so that we need never bow our heads
in shame because we have not kept
flaith with our boys—for some of them
■will come back and we don't want
tfaem to despise us.

LOCALS
Miss Alice Tozie of Duluth, who
has just returned from a five-day visit
with her brother George of Pine River,
now stationed at Camp Campbell, Ky.,
writes to her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Dave Tozier that the boys at camp are
kept plenty busy and that she could
see George only at short intervals
when he had a little spare time. The
boys are looking fine and are in good
spirits. Some complaints have been

In July of last year the Durkee
manufacturing Company received thefr
first government contract for grain
bins to be used for storing the 1942
grain crop in the northwest.
Work was started on the new contract and more than twenty men were
employed daily which was the beginning of I'ine Itiver as a wood-working
center. In August of the same year.
Mr. Durkee received 'his second contract and last winter a third contract
was issued to the fast-growing I'irni
which by this time had enlarged its
workshop as its original
size.
In addition to the graln-bln contract
they now have a large contract for
hog-feeders which will require all sum
mer to complete.
Tie Northland drain Door Co., began operations in Pine River early
thisspring and arc employing approximately thirty men making grain doors
for the Northern Pacific Railroad Oo.
This concern is headed by Loss Gildow, well known local timber operator
and Mr. Hough of Wisconsin.
The activities of these two firms
have done much toward the progress
of this little city and with their combined payrolls, have brought well over $125,000.00 into the territory in the
past year and are a very welcome addition to local business, and especially
s coming at a time when so much of
the population of small towns have
been attracted by the large industrial
centers in the west and east.
Local Items
Lyle Gorenson awoke Sunday morning to find that two soldiers whom he
had befriended the previous night, bad,
robbed him of $15 in currency and a
new pair of shoes, leaving the military
shoes for Lyle.
The two soldiers, apparently on furlough, one a former local lad, broke
the lock on the Gorenson house about
2 a. m., Sunday morning and proceeded to the second floor where Lyle was
sleeping. They awoke him and asked
for a night's lodging and were invited
to stay. One of the boys undressed
and crawled into bed but the other lad
tarried awhile and in a few minutes
Lyle was sound asleep again.
When he retired he had taken the
precaution of placing his billfold under his pillow thinking it safe. When
he awoke in the morning the billfold
containing $15 was gone and so were
a new pair of shoes. They did, however, have the courtesy to leave their
government issue but had beat a hasty
retreat sometime during tne early
ruorning hours themselves.
A warrant has been issued for their
arrest and authorities at Fort Ripley
have been notified. In addition to the
robbery offense, it is also thought that
they are AWOL from their army camp
in Washington state, as they have
been In Pine River more than two
weeks and are now thought to be either at Pequot Lakes or Brainerd.
Mr. and Mrs. Richard York are
making their home in a cabin on Shady Point for the summer.

This concern is headed by Loss Gildow, well known local timber operator
and Mr. Hough of Wisconsin.
The activities of these two firms
have done much toward the progress
of this little city and with their combined payrolls, have brought well over $125,000.00 into the territory in the
past year and are a very welcome addition to local business, and especially
s coming at a time when so much of
the population of small towns have
been attracted by the large industrial
centers in the west and east.
Local Items
Lyle Gorenson awoke Sunday morning to find that two soldiers whom he
had befriended the previous night, bad,
robbed him of $15 in currency and a
new pair of shoes, leaving the military
shoes for Lyle.
The two soldiers, apparently on furlough, one a former local lad, broke
the lock on the Gorenson house about
2 a. m., Sunday morning and proceeded to the second floor where Lyle was
sleeping. They awoke him and asked
for a night's lodging and were invited
to stay. One of the boys undressed
and crawled into bed but the other lad
tarried awhile and in a few minutes
Lyle was sound asleep again.
When he retired he had taken the
precaution of placing his billfold under his pillow thinking it safe. When
he awoke in the morning the billfold
containing $15 was gone and so were
a new pair of shoes. They did, however, have the courtesy to leave their
government issue but had beat a hasty
retreat sometime during tne early
ruorning hours themselves.
A warrant has been issued for their
arrest and authorities at Fort Ripley
have been notified. In addition to the
robbery offense, it is also thought that
they are AWOL from their army camp
in Washington state, as they have
been In Pine River more than two
weeks and are now thought to be either at Pequot Lakes or Brainerd.
